I would not mind doing it again. I can manage now that I have my own room, much easier. However, nights that the Wild play a game, will be later posts.
If that is ok, I'm in, again. Until I get booted, by some lacky with a ton of computers shows up again!! :laugh:

I can take over again, if needed. The news thingy is kinda slow!

@xvi was doing it for a while and did a great job, maybe he'd be interested. Just throwing that out there.

Perhaps there should be a more "permanent" choice/designation also, not this sort of floppy flop that's been happening recently.

Good idea- if we go with a permanent choice I'll offer a title.... sound good?

It is. Now I need to open it!!

What application do I use!!

It must be run, not opened. So no program should be associated with it. Really, just use the Software Center/Synaptic or whatever it is called on Mint.

Absolutely, I think that will help out the whole team, no more uncertainty. Obviously there are certain times when things come up and what not, and at those times a fill in can be arranged; I've had to do that here and there with the Stones.

Edit: @Arjai too was very good and dedicated. Either would be good

My new hours at work mean I'd have to do it on break, but that'd definitely give me something to look forward to. I'd probably set an alarm to remind me. I foresee it typically being quite slow about the time that stats update, so it should work out well for me if I were to have another stab at it.

I'd be happy to do it if everyone would like to see a return of the science posts.

Okay.. Good news, mostly.

cool deal Toothless. And think about it, now you won't have time to smoke up the house with your baking.

food in oven = good. But seriously though it is about time to bake some stuff. I may even have to send a package through the intergalactic mailing service so you can have some stuff to bake.

Arjai · Feb 25, 2015

I wish you could "intergalactic" my stuff to me!! :laugh:

Staring at 'This Old Comp' is discouraging, since I can no longer get her going due to that ancient board. I refuse to load her with XP. Stupid thing is, I'm in this pickle because I forgot the password! Then, in the process of trying to load multiple Distro's of Linux, trying to get one to work, it messed with my WIN7 somehow and now won't even boot to Windows.

Anyway, eventually, hopefully, it will be more than a dust collector on the shelf!!

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Feb 26, 2015

Houston we have a problem and I have never come across this one. I have twin systems and it seems Wcg is not liking it at all. Everytime they update it aborts the wu's on them. They have different names but all the hardware in them are the same and they both are on the network switch. I just put one together tonight. I just unhook one from the switch and popped in a wireless adapter to see what it does. This might put a wrench in my ultimate plan.

Note: you can't have 2 identical rigs on the same network switch or WCg gets all pissy and aborts work to both and won't let neither get new work. :shadedshu:

That is nuts!!!! So if a person built a small "farm" of identical systems WCG wouldn't work correctly? That should be brought up to them. That is insane. :shadedshu:

Not if they are all hooked to the same network switch apparently. Now I guess if you used different os's or different version of an Os then it would be fine. Both of my twin rigs are pretty much identical except for the memory. One is running Ripjaws and the other is running XMS3's. I was actually thinking of doing an 8 rig setup of Identical systems but that's out the window unless I do all wireless with them.

You know how I relate everything to the office?

xvi · Feb 26, 2015

Well, the Z600 rig is having stability issues, but the dual proc server is up. Really weird issue with the Z600. Temps creep up to the 70c range, then I lose video and USB, but the hard drive activity light flickers. Power button won't shut it down gracefully. I suppose I'll try memtest followed by.. I'unno. Prime95? I don't think it's actually temperature related. Or at least not CPU temp.

I probably missed the post, but does that mean you got the job. Congratulations. I remember working nights. Not great but you can get lots of hours.

Host names should be different.

While computer hardware is nice and all it should not be your priority. Get stable income so that you can find a place to rent and be your own man or to be able to pay the bills that you are currently being asked.

Make sure first that you can live hustle free not worrying if you will have electricity, food or wifi when you get home, that you can go out with friends and grab a ~~beer~~ coke (just realized you have to be 21 in the us

) not being ashamed that you can't afford one. Socializing and having friends is important and while i can write nice words here on the forum I can't be there when you are in real need, like a place to crash or dinner to share. They become even more important if you dont have a healthy relationship with your parents (this is a conclusion i jumped to by what you have been writing, sorry if i am mistaken). And remember always have some on the side for rainy days that should be enough for at least a months worth of rent, bills and food.When all that has been satisfied then you can go and buy stuff be it pc hardware, traveling around , snowboarding gear, car / bike or whatever is on your top priority list.

This is something I have learned by leaving my nest right after turning 19 (albeit my decision was supported by my family and we have a good relationship which has helped me thru some very difficult times). I have worked bunch of part time jobs from cleaning and working night shifts to chauffeuring ambassadors. Now 6 years later I have 2 stable part - time jobs (one of them is 90% night shift) that pay me enough to have a good life and I am but few months away of getting my master engineering degree and a proper paying job. Sorry for the long off topic but I felt the need to share this with a fellow TPU member that could end up in a similar situation
